Jay Gavin given a dose of karma

A year after Jay Gavin transferred to Virginia Commonwealth due to head coach Matt Brady's departure, another coach has left the former MAAC rookie of the year.
Given the opportunity to stick around and play for Chuck Martin, Gavin chose to join VCU, another school that heavily recruited him.
Well VCU head coach Anthony Grant has pulled a Matt Brady, leaving Gavin to adjust to another head coach and most likely, a step back for the program. Grant, a one-time assistant with Florida's Billy Donovan, accepted the head coaching position at the University of Alabama.
Gavin will become eligible to join the Rams' active roster next season after serving his mandated redshirt season following his transfer. While Gavin gets to join a team that has gone to the NCAA Tournament two years in a row, he will become a part of a team in flux. Gavin will experience what last year's Red Foxes had to endure.
In addition, Gavin will miss the opportunity to play with two major conference transfers joining the Red Foxes next season. Swingman and Boston College transfer Daye Kaba (right) becomes eligible for the start of the 2009 season while Villanova transfer Casiem Drummond (above) will become eligible for the start of conference play. The players transferred from the ACC and Big East, respectively, and bring the kinf od size and bulk that Chuck Martin emphasized the team needed following a home loss to Rider.
